Latest News!
Updated November 20, 2009
Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Availability
|
Due to production of H1N1 influenza vaccine,
there is a delay in production of seasonal influenza (flu)
vaccine. This has resulted in shortages in the community,
including locations such as local pharmacies, community clinics,
physician offices, urgent care centers and other private health
care providers.
We encourage the public - particularly those at greatest risk of
medical complications and/or transmitting influenza to others -
to obtain both seasonal and H1N1 flu vaccinations this year – as
they become available - to increase their protection against
influenza and its potential complications.
As seasonal vaccine supplies return to normal
levels later this fall, finding a seasonal influenza vaccination
clinic may be done through the
American Lung Association's Flu Clinic Locator Web site.
|
Note: The Flu Clinic Locator is currently listing 405
W. 5th Street in Santa Ana and a location for both
Season Flu and H1N1 vaccine. This is not the case. Flu
vaccine is NOT available at this address. |
Please note: This page offers information
about seasonal flu only.
